| Anker’s new Travel Charging Station |
Anker's 6-in-1 travel charger is finally crossing the Atlantic, bringing 150W of portable power to European travelers.
If you've ever struggled with a tangled mess of chargers in your carry-on, Anker might have just the solution. The company's Travel Charging Station – a slim, 6-in-1 power brick that launched in the US earlier this year – is now making its way to Europe, starting with Germany.
One Charger, Six Devices
The Anker Travel Charging Station (model A1A05) packs an impressive 150W of combined output into a body that's roughly the size of a smartphone. You're getting four USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, which means you can top up your laptop, phone, tablet, earbuds, and smartwatch all from a single wall outlet.
The two primary USB-C ports can each deliver up to 100W on their own, making them more than capable of handling demanding devices like Apple's latest MacBook Air 13 (2026). The remaining two USB-C ports max out at 45W, while the USB-A ports offer up to 12W each – perfect for older accessories or low-power gadgets.
According to Anker, this setup is powerful enough to charge a pair of MacBook Air laptops alongside an iPhone 17 Pro to 50% in just half an hour. That's the kind of performance that should appeal to digital nomads and business travelers who don't want to compromise on charging speed.
Built for the Road
What makes this charging station particularly travel-friendly is its thoughtful design. Measuring just 150 x 69 x 22 mm and weighing 290g, it slips easily into a backpack or carry-on. The integrated power cable features a soft exterior that wraps neatly around the body of the charger, keeping everything tidy during transit.
Anker hasn't skimped on safety either. The A1A05 comes with built-in protection against overheating, overcurrent, and short circuits, plus an alert system that notifies you if there's a charging issue. The company's ActiveShield 4.0 technology performs over 10 million temperature checks daily across seven protection layers, ensuring reliable performance whether you're in a hotel room in Tokyo or a café in Berlin.
One thing to note: this isn't a power bank. The Travel Charging Station requires an AC outlet to function, and it doesn't support wireless charging or USB hub functionality. You'll also need to bring your own charging cables, as none are included in the box.
Pricing and Availability
German customers can now purchase the Anker Travel Charging Station directly from the company's online store for €79.99. That's roughly in line with the US price of $79.99, making it a reasonably competitive option for a premium multi-port charger.
UK shoppers will pay a bit more – Amazon UK currently lists the device at £109.99 RRP – but product listings have also appeared on Amazon Netherlands and Spain, suggesting a broader European rollout is imminent.
For those in the US, the charger remains available through Amazon and Anker's official store. And if you're looking for a reliable alternative or want to compare options, you can also check out this listing for related Anker charging accessories.
The Verdict
The Anker Travel Charging Station fills a genuine gap in the market for travelers who need serious charging power without the bulk. At 290g, it's lighter than many single-device laptop chargers, yet it can simultaneously power an entire tech kit. For frequent flyers tired of juggling multiple adapters, this could be a worthwhile investment.
The main caveat is the lack of included cables and the fact that it's not a power bank – you'll still need access to a wall outlet. But for hotel stays, airport lounges, and co-working spaces, the A1A05 looks like a smart travel companion.
The Anker Travel Charging Station is available now in Germany via Anker's official store, with wider European availability expected soon.
